The former Prime Minister of India Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayeesaid said on a television on 22 March 1998 “The Government will strive hard to make India a global Information Technology power – specifically, [we will] make India one of the largest generators and exporters of software in the world – within 10 years”. The Prime Minister also recommend professionals to deal with the three national tasks in which he wants to enlarge the role of languages in computers, by using internet it improve the government-citizen interface and wants to improve facility of IT applications for rural development and agriculture.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY To realize the concept and advantage of Digital India. Identify the main service launched through Digital India. Identify the future scope of Digital India. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY In research problem the data collection methods are an vital part. There are various ways of collecting the data. There are two ways of data collection primary data and secondary data. This paper is purely based upon the secondary data. Secondary data related to previous studies and other reliable sources like various journals books, and online magazines. Digital India is a very latest topic so the research journal on this topic is very few. DOI:10.24105/gjcmp.7.2.1803 14 REVIEW OF LITERATURE Kaur& Neena (2014) investigated the extent of ICT circulation in India and also estimate inter-state technology divide. The results of the study showed that the top ICT player states in India are mostly south countries like Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and in north side countries Punjab, HP. and the poor player of digital India are Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa and Assam. The study showed that telecom diffusion index will affect the size of the digital divide between both the group large groups and little groups as well as between high groups and medium groups. During 2001-06 and 2006-12 for all states of India the change in the value of digital divide is negative. Mistry (2005) developed a theoretical frame to represent how the digital divine is formed and how it can be bridged a good framework in under-developed nations. The government role whether it is direct or indirect is famous in order to explain a variety of ways in which public institutions can make possible bridging the digital divide. With respect to economical development, the Government can also play a more direct role with the help of digital divine. James (2004) found that ICT in general and the internet usage is measured by the difference between rich and poor countries and the global digital divide was also measured in rich and poor countries. The problem was found in India which are the under developed countries that how can the uneducated people got advantage from the internet with lacking of the computers knowledge and internet connectivity. This problem can be solving with the help of intermediaries who can transfer the knowledge available on the technology to the illiterate person. By using this idea in India it is found that at least 30% people can take benefit from this idea. Digital India- What it means According to the Wikipedia website “Digital India is an plan by the Government of India to ensure that Government services are made available to citizens electronically by improving online infrastructure and by increasing Internet connectivity”.

    Lessons from the Swachh Bharat Mission – Driving Behaviour Change at Scale

    The making of “Swachh” India Lessons from the Swachh Bharat Mission – driving behaviour change at scale October 2018 KPMG.com/in © 2018 KPMG, an Indian Registered Partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. All rights reserved. Foreword The Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), which is perhaps the largest behaviour change campaign ever, aims to make India a clean nation. There is enough evidence to show that India is on a new trajectory of growth owing to the achievements under the mission. SBM has witnessed a phenomenal increase in rural sanitation coverage from 39 per cent to 90 per cent in the last four years. It is heartening to see the people of our nation stepping beyond their roles as mere beneficiaries of the programme to becoming its leaders. The large majority of citizens in rural India, especially the women, no longer have to suffer the indignity of having to go out into the open to defecate. In fact, women are becoming the primary force in driving the nation in becoming free from open defecation. It marks a sea change in their attitude which has a direct impact on their dignity and quality of life. The World Health Organization (WHO) believes that SBM could prevent about 300,000 deaths due to water borne diseases assuming we achieve 100 per cent coverage by October 2019. The credit for this will go to every Indian who was part of this campaign. I take this opportunity to congratulate the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation and every citizen in the country for catalysing the achievements achieved thus far.

    Anglo-Indians: the Dilemma of Identity

    ANGLO-INDIANS: THE DILEMMA OF IDENTITY Sheila Pais James Department of Sociology Flinders University of S.A. Paper presented at Counterpoints Flinders University Postgraduate Conference South Australia 19 -20 April 2001 E-mail Sheila James: [email protected] ABSTRACT On the eve of departure of the British from India, the Anglo-Indians found themselves in an invidious situation - caught between the European attitude of superiority towards Indian and Anglo-Indian alike and the Indian mistrust of them, due to their aloofness and their Western - oriented culture. One of the problems the Anglo-Indian community has always faced is one of ‘Identity’. In the early days of the colonial rule it was difficult for the Anglo-Indians to answer with certainty the question "Who am I?" As a genuine community consciousness developed this identity dilemma lessened but it was never firmly resolved. With the British leaving India and as opportunities for a resolution of identity conflict through migration faded a new identity orientation was necessary. Many Anglo-Indians, who were unable to make such a turn-about of identity and feeling insecure without the protective imperial umbrella, opted to leave India. Thus, victims of dilemma and indiscretion throughout their existence thousands of Anglo-Indians left for safe shores - Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. For Anglo-Indians who have left India and settled abroad a similar problem of Identity again arises. IJAIS Vol. 7, No. 1. 2003, p. 3-17 www.international-journal-of-anglo-indian-studies.org Anglo-Indians: The Dilemma of Identity 4 INTRODUCTION This paper is a preliminary outline of the discourses surrounding the Anglo-Indians and their Dilemma of Identity.

    The Keys to British Success in South Asia COLIN WATTERSON

    The Keys to British Success in South Asia COLIN WATTERSON “God is on everyone’s side…and in the last analysis he is on the side with plenty of money and large armies” -Jean Anouilh For a period of a period of over one hundred years, the British directly controlled the subcontinent of India. How did a small island nation come on the Edge of the North Atlantic come to dominate a much larger landmass and population located almost 4000 miles away? Historian Sir John Robert Seeley wrote that the British Empire was acquired in “a fit of absence of mind” to show that the Empire was acquired gradually, piece-by-piece. This will paper will try to examine some of the most important reasons which allowed the British to successfully acquire and hold each “piece” of India. This paper will examine the conditions that were present in India before the British arrived—a crumbling central political power, fierce competition from European rivals, and Mughal neglect towards certain portions of Indian society—were important factors in British control. Economic superiority was an also important control used by the British—this paper will emphasize the way trade agreements made between the British and Indians worked to favor the British. Military force was also an important factor but this paper will show that overwhelming British force was not the reason the British military was successful—Britain’s powerful navy, ability to play Indian factions against one another, and its use of native soldiers were keys to military success. Political Agendas and Indian Historical Approaches The historiography of India has gone through four major phases—three of which have been driven by the prevailing world politics of the time.
